Why do we call it coffee and not bean water?
The word “coffee” comes from the Arabic word qahwa, which originally referred to wine or a stimulating drink.
When coffee spread through the Arab world, qahwa became the word for this dark, bitter, suspiciously addictive drink.
Then the word traveled with the drink.
The linguistic journey is:
Arabic qahwa → Turkish kahve → Italian caffè → Dutch koffie → English coffee.
So the word “coffee” is basically a tiny fossil of the trade routes that carried roasted beans from the Middle East into Europe.
Which is beautiful, historic, and slightly troubling.
Because apparently Starbucks heard “it used to mean wine” and decided to charge accordingly.

Does anybody know what this is supposed to mean? I’m confused about what she’s trying to say here.

Tonight is the first night I’m gonna go without drinking.
Been thinking about it all morning.
Wish me luck.
It’s been an issue for me.
And I’m ready to tackle this problem.

Ferrari just unveiled their first full EV, the Luce, and the backlash has been strong 😂
Ferrari enthusiasts are losing it: no V12 roar, the new design feels kinda Apple-ish, and the soul is just… gone.
Kinda hurts seeing it. What do y’all think?

Not all spiders are scary. Some are actually cute and can be kept as pets, like jumping spiders, especially Lucas the Spider 🕷️
What’s even crazier is that studies suggest they can recognize their owner’s face and become attached to them.

Tulsi, thank you. Not just for taking the time to visit Alan today, but for understanding the weight of that sacrifice in a way few people ever truly will.
You answered the call to serve this country just like he did. You know what it means to put on the uniform, to stand willing to give everything in defense of this nation, and that makes this gesture mean even more to our family.
Seeing you standing there at his grave honestly brought me to tears. Thank you for honoring Alan, for saying his name, and for reminding me that there are still people in this country who have not forgotten the cost of freedom. 🇺🇸

I'll admit, if I see likes, I do check pages and follow. It's a good pasttime on here. It's really cool to see everyday people's feeds like mine. The big accounts are boring.

People on here posting to follow their friends... Why? I need a reason. Patriot isn't enough. I like to interact with people. I like reading their pages and finding common interests...at my pace, not because someone told me to. Go earn follows.

We tried permanent Daylight Savings Time in the 70's and it was such a disaster that it was repealed in less than a year - the better choice is to lock the clock on permanent Standard Time:
